Times felt so hard and it seemed as if there was no end to my struggles.

I was battling depression, suicidal thoughts, and insecurities.

I was still praying, still reading scriptures, and still going to church.

But, I had let my situation weaken my faith and get the best of me.

My problems had become my god.

One day, I felt like I could take no more. But, I decided to do the opposite of give up.

So, instead of getting discouraged, I just started praisingGod.

Right there, in the midst of my trial, I told God, “Lord, I abandon myself to you. I give this situation to you. There’s no path I can take that’s greater than what you have for me. I praise you God. You are greater than my struggle.”

Later on, the Lord led me to this scripture:

“Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction andhardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.
